Spring is in the Eire
Say what you will about perpetual winter darkness…and perpetual rain…and perpetual wind in Ireland. On days like today, you gotta love this country!
Today is the 2nd of February and I mowed our grass-green grass that is-inhaling its lovely fragrance. No coat, no hat, no scarf, no mittens, no galoshes, no shovel.
I think it has to do with the power of suggestion. Since yesterday was officially the first day of spring here, the weather today just had to be springlike.
And so, for the rest of the world under winter’s blanket of snow….’picture postcards’ from our garden.
Its Spring all right, bright sunny cool days. Got the urge myself during the week and cut the grass too. But I did not take any lovely pictures like you did. Its inspired me to take the camera outside with me next time.

Sigh. I am looking out the window at snow gently falling. I expect to see flowers in my garden in about 4 months. Sigh.
Thanks for sharing your even though they have made me “green” with envy.

Very interesting … I didn’t realize there was any other official spring other than the equinox. Will the weather continue to act like it’s spring? The east coast is into a deep freeze. Brrrr!
